The same social mores that tell young women that they should be good little girls are telling guys to be tough, to quash their feelings, and even to be violent. Their problems are our problems, ladies. Men aren’t born to rape and to commit violence. Men aren’t naturally ‘tougher’ emotionally.
These gendered expectations hurt men like they hurt us.
I mean, really, can you imagine what it must be like to know that one of the only ways to demonstrate your ‘masculinity’ is to do violence to someone else? To never let your guard down? Seems pretty goddamn awful to me.
